Verse 1:
              
               E                       B
Call on your angels, come down to the city

                 F#                             B
Crowd around the big tree, all you strangers who know me.

Bring your compassion, your understanding,

              F#                              B
Lord, how we need it on this New York City Christmas.

And I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas

        F#                 E                B     E  B
And a prayer for peace on Earth within our time.

             Abm                     E

                 F#                                     B
It's time that we mend them, so they don't fade with the season

                       E                              Abm
Let our mercy be the gifts we lay, from Brookland to Broadway,

             F#                                            B
And celebrate, each and every day of this New York City Christmas.

And a prayer for peace on Earth within our time.

Yeah, the sidewalk angels echo "Hallelujah",

           B                F#                                
And we understand them, now more than ever.

                  F#                             B
Gather 'round the big tree, all you strangers who know me.

And a prayer for peace on Earth, it's not too late.

             Abm                     E
Yeah, the sidewalk angels echo "Hallelujah",

           B                F#                                
And we understand them, we hear them say...
